2017 Map of Oconee

About this map

The Oconee River serves as a major geographical boundary, separating Washington County from Wilkinson County as it meanders through a landscape defined by expansive creek systems. This rural region, centered on the settlements of Oconee and Gardner, is characterized by its numerous small burial grounds and a complex network of waterways like Commissioner Cr and Sandy Hill Cr. The southern portion of the map highlights the intersection of three counties—Washington, Wilkinson, and Johnson—near the Balls Ferry Bridge. Local history is preserved in the placement of family and community landmarks such as Antioch Cem, Woods Cem, and Bay Springs Cem. The terrain is marked by a series of ponds, including Veal Pond and Fuqua Pond, which contribute to the drainage of the Oconee basin.
